We are two women... in our thirties each with a different story. We have been friends for 17 years. We have seen the highs and we have seen the lows in eachother's lives. Right now we each find ourselves a little low.. stuck... surviving day to day... but missing out on a life of thriving. We are tired. We are done. We need to change our lives... which means changing ourselves. Here we go....

From K.J.

Going crazy... how do you create the life you want... REALLY? Not just for a moment? For good!

I am failing miserably. My waist is the same size (if not larger) it was a week ago. The house is a mess... I have the same piles sitting around. I want to read a couple books... but have not even read a page.

On a positive note, I do think I have handled some things as a mom better. And I have completed two things off my 'to-do' list. Of course one of those things was to paint the basement. It is the most awful color. I hate it. Ugh. I am going to sit and look at it for a day or two, then decide what to do. It may make it back on my 'to-do' list. It does feel good to get those things done.

The other 'big' item I accomplished was 'ordering' a book I started casually working on about a year ago. My cousin is finishing chemo in two weeks and I want to give it to her as a gift when she is done. I may actually meet that deadline. It is a compilation of quotes and scriptures that focus on dealing with trials.

Changing your life is hard... and yet that is what I am trying to do. I just need to focus and work hard. This will not be easy.

I am trying making my list of things to do every day after morning prayer. I guess that means I need to have a more meditative prayer if I want that to be successful.
